Maps - Navigation & Transit APK

Editorial Review

Google Maps is an excellent tool for active people who like to get around. Navigation provides well-highlighted alternate routes, optional text-list display with voice guidance, street level views with rotation. Users can ask for directions for driving, walking, biking, or riding the bus. Map layers include traffic, transit lines, bicycling routes, Wikipedia articles, attractions, restaurants, and satellite view. The app also provides some icing with latitude and check-in features, screenshots for offline viewing, and extensive web-based help. Latitude and check-in allow you to publish your presence at nearby locations even intersections with traveling direction, westbound, for example. App mines Google+ info including profile photo and contacts from your device to select groups to "check in" with. With Latitude layer selected, you can see all nearby checked-in contacts in maps. It is great for family resort vacations or reunions.
